Hey ppl,
I have bought a sweet 84 tg gemini and am going to fit a Nissan FJ20DET to it and was wondering how difficult it will be and what budget or problems can stand out.
i thought and FJ20 would be a reasonably easy conversion apposed to a CA18 but if anyone disagree's please tell me the way to go for a sweet hi psi turbo engine conversion

thanx tom
